MARADONA ACCUSES GIRLFRIEND OF THEFT Former Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona on Tuesday filed a theft complaint against his girlfriend, Rocio Oliva, after a video was released that allegedly shows him hitting her. “I spoke to Diego and he filed the complaint,” Oliva told Argentine television. Oliva, 22, has a turbulent relationship with 53-year-old Maradona. He lives in Dubai and has a sports promotion contract. Argentine television channels have released a short video supposedly shot by Oliva in a room in Maradona’s home. -AFP Mutai to lead Kenya hunt in NY Marathon MAKWATTA ELATED WITH FIRST START Since making the move to Ulinzi, former City Stars striker John Mark Makwatta has only been making substitute appearances. The striker earned his first start of the season last weekend in the 1-0 win over Thika United and played the entire match, making a positive impact in the absence of Stephen Waruru. Makwatta now says it was his desire to get a starting berth and he hopes to make more appearances in the remaining two games. -TIMOTHY OLOBULU PEOPLE DAILY \ Thursday, October 30, 2014 ATHLETICS: Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya, who first won the New York Marathon in 2011, will be making his third shot at the crown, after winning in 2013 against a spirited challenge that will include his countrymen. Dennis Kimetto, who won the Berlin marathon two weeks ago, also made the trip, but will not be running as he waits his fate on who will win the World Marathon Majors (WMM) crown. Kimetto, who has 75 points, is in line to clinch the 500,000 U.S dollars (Sh44.6million) and laurel for his effort this season if Wilson Kipsang (51 points) fail to win in New York. -XINHUA Rummenigge calls for April World Cup in 2022 FOOTBALL: Leading European clubs want Fifa to hold the Qatar World Cup in April 2022, Bayern Munich chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said in a British newspaper interview published yesterday.

Balotelli has struggled since his £16 million (Sh2.3 billion) pre-season move from AC Milan and on Tuesday he was on the bench until 11 minutes from time. When the Italian striker was sent on, Liverpool were trailing 1-0 to Marvin Emnes’s 65th-minute goal, but four minutes from time, Balotelli evaded the visitors’ defence to equalise. And in the fifth minute of stoppage-time, Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren headed home the winner. -AFP KPL/FKF Standoff Football Kenya Federation boss Sam Nyamweya (left) and Kenyan Premier League CEO Jack Oguda.

The two are at loggerheads over certain decisions regarding league matches PHOTO: JAMES MAGAYI by by Timothy Olobulu and Agencies @KakaTimm A stand-off looms between Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and it’s affiliate Kenyan Premier League (KPL) after KPL yesterday insisted that Saturday’s match between AFC Leopards and title-chasing Sofapaka FC be played at Mumias Complex Stadium against the wish of the federation chiefs. KPL CEO Jack Oguda re- vealed to Goal that as the home team, Leopards deserved to enjoy home ground advantage and that their match against Batoto ba Mungu will not be moved to a neutral venue as requested by FKF. “As it stands, Saturday’s match will be played at Mumias Complex. AFC Leopards are the home team and deserve to enjoy homeground advantage,” said KPL. “Furthermore, FKF are yet to write to us requesting for change of venue. Even Sofapaka have not contacted us on the same. We have also convened a meeting for all 16 chairpersons of KPL clubs on Friday (tomorrow) to discuss the matter and come up with a joint solution on the same.” This comes on the back drop of a stormy meeting held by the federation on Tuesday where Oguda was found guilty of using unorthodox means to award Tusker the controversial match against Muhoroni Youth and some officials even called for his punishment. It will be interesting to see how the federation addresses this fresh stand-off. Meanwhile, Gor Mahia have presented new evidence to the FKF regarding the fracas last Sunday in Machakos after their league match against Sofapaka. Citing political interfer- ence, K’Ogalo have petitioned FKF to review the sanctions imposed on them saying the violence was pre-arranged to fix Gor fans. FKF slapped Gor with a Sh500,000 fine and banned their fans in their last two games of the league against Muhoroni Youth and KRA over the violence that rocked Machakos on Sunday. “Our intelligence point out that the chaos were politically motivated and it is something very sad because politics and football should never mix. We are following up on further leads to clearly bring this out but we have presented FKF with this new evidence,” Gor secretary general Chris Omondi said yesterday.
